Assembly is haploid, and the genome is paleotetraploid. It has a haploid genome size of 2100 Mb, and has 10 haploid chromosomes.
Herbarium records of Zea mays ssp. mexicana TIL25 from AuBuchon-Elder et al 2022 are plotted with black points, The sampled individual this genome was generated from is shown in a colored point. The green background shows the biogeographic ranges of all Andropogoneae species in AuBuchon-Elder et al 2022.

TIL25 highlighted with colored points.
Like dotplots shown in Figure 3 of the main text, this shows syntenic blocks in Zea mays ssp. mexicana TIL25 along the y-axis, vs P. vaginatum on the x-axis. As Zea mays ssp. mexicana TIL25 is a paleotetraploid with a haploid, assembly, we expect 2 paths for any x-axis position.
Like plots shown in Figure 4 of the main text, this shows proportion of retained genes in Zea mays ssp. mexicana TIL25 along the y-axis, vs P. vaginatum chromosomes on the x-axis. As Zea mays ssp. mexicana TIL25 is a paleotetraploid with a haploid, assembly, we expect 2 lines, one for each subgenome.
